LOL If you have Peacock, go to minute 77:00 in the game replay, they show a perfect sideline view in super slow mo. No shin. I assume it was this view the match officials saw that caused them to change their minds from Aaronson to own goal.
I am convinced if it were an English Golden Boy then they would have awarded the goal. The original call is goal then they have to go microsecond by microsecond slow-mo and it still looks like a tie at best. Why take the goal away from an offensive player if it is that close? Total BS IMO. Then Sofascore gives him a 6.1... lowest score on the team. Yikes. Did they even watch the game?
Stolen goal aside, that was a great example of the Brendan Aaaronson experience. quality in the ball, attacking the back line, relentless energy, a period of exhaustion, and then a goal off perfect off ball work and a single great tocuh
Tough luck on losing the goal credit. He almost pulled within one of Altidore and Sargent on the all time Yank scoring list.
On another note did anyone catch the Chelsea game lol. I don't think we need to be comparing him in the title to a player he is arguably better than (or at least in the same ballpark). I think substituting "American Havertz" for "Medford Messi" would be appropriate.
Just because your generation sucked doesn't mean that 1 is the all-time record for Yanks in the EPL ... Dempsey - 57 McBride - 33 Joe-Max Moore - 8 Reyna - 7 ... and those are only the obvious ones. Even Donovan had 2.
Easy tiger, original poster was just making a joke. More of a stab at Jozy and Sargent in the Prem, rightfully so, rather than overall Yank performance in the league.
My big concern is that he's so good, at some point one of those big brutes is going to apply the emergency brake on him.
Bruno Lage made a comment about someone saying something inappropriate during the game and that Jessie tried to apologize afterwards but that it was too late to apologize because those apologies should be made during the game when the words are said…odd.
He doesn't try and dribble people as much as Puli and tends to unload the ball quicker. He will still get his share for sure, but it should help to a degree.
That will happen. There was a stretch of several matches where every Austrian team literally tried to kick him off the field. He got through it, Of course these guys are stronger and faster. I said it before. How he handles it will determine his ceiling.
It is early going, but Aaronson is developing into a more complete player IMO. I couldn’t even imagine stating that even 6 months ago but he just keeps getting better and better on O while bringing a real counter-press ability with a motor that never seems to stop. All that being said, the hardest part of being an elite player is being able to stand out consistently. CP has oodles of talent so it wouldn’t surprise me if he found his rhythm and became a juggernaut again. Hopefully they will both be in top form come November.
